Money wasted due to currency blocking

In a state like goa, there is no public transport at an affordable price and there are few banks within walking distance in many suburbs . For a single trip to a bank, a person has to often spend Rs 100 as rickshaws in goa are charging Rs 50 for a single trip of less than 3 km.
On 8 November 2016, a person who has withdrawn money for monthly expenses will again have to visit the bank to get the money changed, wasting time and money. The indian government officials are getting a monthly salary paid with tax payer money, what about the private citizens who do not get a salary and will have to waste their time and money visiting the bank repeatedly just to get some money for daily expenses like food. Is the government going to compensate the citizen for the time and money wasted due to currency blocking, The bank staff should not have given Rs 500 notes if the notice was being issued the same day
There is a big black money racket dealing with blocked notes, people are giving supplies of Rs 300 for Rs 500 notes. In large cities, the bank is usually within walking distance and most people are walking on the roads so it is not a major problem to visit the local bank. In goa the bank is far away and walking on the road is not appreciated by the security agency officials so the problem of changing the currency is becoming a major problem for people who have just withdrawn money from their bank account on 8 November 2016 morning for their monthly expenses.
